10/30/2004: "the future of podcasting?"

On the near horizon, cell phones will have enough processing power, programability and network connectivity to enable a syncronous podcast of images and sound from our daily lives. The simple fact is that there is no reason why you have to push the buttons on your phone to have it snap JPEGs, video or audio. These things can all be done via software control, potentially from a location 100s of miles away.

I hereby request a RSS feed coming straight from your new phone over some suitably exotic wireless connection, detailing current GPS, links to real-time images and/or video and/or audio and some nice text tag descriptions for Google's sake.

There is a place for businesses to provide a back-end here. The essential interface between the phone and the rest of the Internet.

Hopefully, this won't break Technorati.
